Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
A week now... a week without Tyrone, a week without Chippy a week of screaming with lack of sound. I am so ready to curl into a dark corner and disappear. I cant seem to keep myself together all by myself. Ive leaned so heavily on 2 of my friends this week that it's stressed them, and God above knows thats the last thing I wanted to do. I just.... I cannot stand the silence because I am toxic to myself. I feel like cutting again, feel like giving up, and feel like Im losing who I was.... I smiled just a couple days ago... what happened to that Jenn?

Jenn I read a Poem of yours posted in discussions. And I commented on it. And in that poem you displayed alot of Inner Strenght, Courage, Motivation, and Drive to Fight your Depression. Do you remember the Poem Jenn I'm sure that you do. I was very impressed. Please remember your own words and your smile. Your friends will be back. This is only a small "spacer" in the scheme of things.

even the strongest warrior can be injured in battle.

What were you doing or thinking about a few days ago that made you smile? A friend of mine told me to think of at least one positive thing in my life everyday then meditate on that. Today you have friends that care and that are praying for you. Be thankful you haven't cut yet and make up your mind not to today!

i smiled because i got to thinking of Chippy, and how happy he makes me. I was thinking about my nephew.... things

Yes I agree with you, there is a risk taken in all wars. But the "Strongest Warrior" has the insight to accept these injuries as "Battle Scars" not "Battles Lost"
Jennheimrich
true johnny but its mighty hard to pull the sword out of my chest, and find the strength to do battle again in the morning.

Jenn you are a very brave soul you have been through alot in your young life. There is a reward for your tenacity to survive. One day you will be a Teacher an not a Student. And a Shinning Light in the eyes of others trying desperatly to find their way.
Jennheimrich
i do so hope i can later find the inner strength to help others past their pains.
johnnyboy
You will Jenn it is the path that you are on. There is reasons for everything. Your pain now will spare another of the same. It is God's will. Your life experiences are an invaluable and "Precious gift" in his eyes and he will help you to put them to good use.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
